Taperflex Shaft

[hockeypunk3 0]

Hi, all.

I have a question.

I have a taperflex 105 flex shaft, it feels more like a 100 or maybe 95.

Do sherwood sticks directly follow eastons rating? *(i dont see them on the flex chart so i assumed they did.)

****Update****

Upon further use, it does seem to kick alot like a z-bubble if my memory serves me correctly, so it definately tapers like a Z-bub.

Alot of companies have trouble nailing down flexes in general, but specifically tapered flexes. It's best to assume it will always be at least 5 less than marked on the shaft, for tapereds at least.

Its a standard shaft eazy, but maybe your 5 flex off is right it sounds reasonable.

I never understood why they call it taper flex when its a standard shaft....is it because there is some sort of taper on the shaft?

looks like a little bit of a taper on both sides maybe 1/8 of an inch or so. I eyeballed it.

I had a Lindros Eclipse that said it was 105 and it seemed stiffer to me.

I have a Stiff Flex Genesis which is 105 for easton, judged by our flex chart. It feels about right, the genesis and taperflex are both the same length and have the same blade in them.
